A GOVERNMENT VICTORY.
The National Zeitung, commenting upon
the elections, says:
The results as far as known give presage
of brilliant Septennist victory. The results
ascertained this afternoon include twenty-sir
seats won from the reichstag majority of
Jan. IA, while the National Liberals have
wrested from their opponents twenty-three
districts, of which twelve were lost by New
German Liberals, three by Centreists, FIVE by
Socialists and three by Democrats. The New
German Liberals have veritably suffered q
crushing defeat.
The Nachrichten says:
If conclusion can be drawn from gen.
eral summary of the results, the prospects Of
the National parties are decidedly favorable.
The sound sense of the German people has
met the disgraceful experiments in agitation
or the apostles OF revolution with resist
ance which was evidently not expected by
the allied opposition parties. Accordingly
among the latter there prevails general dig
appointment Among the New German Lib
erals a feeling of intense dsmay is plainly
discovered between the high-sounding
phrases of the party press. The people are
ready to make all the sacrifices the emperor
asks and the security of the empire is
assured.
1t is reported in official circles that the
emperor will summon the reichstag to meet
without waiting for the supplementary
elections to be held, as soon as verified re-
turns show the election of a sufficient num
ber of deputies to constitute QUORUM.
